As Dubai Parks and Resorts begins landscaping three new theme parks, we take a look at what to expect from the new Marriott-operated Lapita Hotel

There was a time when saying “Dubai has it all” would have involved a stretch of the imagination. Despite the endless retail havens, fine-dining venues and even a ski slope, families were left wanting more. That’s why three new theme parks are finally being opened in the emirate, all under the banner of Dubai Parks and Resorts.

It’s a familiar adage; you wait ages for a bus and then three come along at once. Well, for Dubai, the same is true for amusement parks. The new theme parks and adjoining properties include Motiongate Dubai, Bollywood Parks Dubai, and Legoland Dubai, coupled with Legoland Water Park – all of which will be connected by Riverland Dubai, described as the resort’s retail, dining and entertainment gateway.
